- No idea what your problem with "give up the ghost" is, it's a perfectly common phrase.- You're right, "dozens" does sound much better than "tens", I'll edit that one.- The "can"/"could" is debatable, but seeing as it's present-tense in the Japanese and One-Leg is reflecting on his own nature, I think "can" is probably more appropriate.- As for "lightning" versus "thunder"... "Kaminari" is the most general word in Japanese for the phenomenon of "thunder and lightning" as a whole. It does have a more specific sense referring to just the "thunder" part, but I don't see any indication that such a distinction is intended here, so I think it makes perfect sense to use "lightning", which I'd say is the more general word than "thunder" in English. Plus "lightning soldier" just sounds much nicer than "thunder soldier".
